to the crowd from below. At 11 o'clock
the town was full of people.
THE GALLOWS
is about three hundred yards from the jail
in the piece of woods northeast of the court
house. It is built in a ravine and is not
enclosed. The woods were lined with peo
ple, who hoped to witness tile hanging.
The tree tops were full of boys, who were
determined to see and to be seen, a pecu
liar trait which has characterized the
small boy in all ages and at all times."~TEe
hanging was private in the eyes of the
law, doubtless, yet hundreds of people
witnessed the sickening scene, though the
large force of armed guards succeeded in
keeping the crowd at a respectful distance.
AT THE JAIL.
At 11:25 o’clock a guard consisting of
about seventy-five armed men were formed
into line at the rear gate of the jail yard.
Two minutes later Davis walked down the
stairway of the jail, handcuffed and
in custody of Deputy Bishop and Jailer
Chadwick. He did not seem to be at all
excited, and shook hands warmly with the
reporter as he entered the buggy with
Deputy Ragland. The order was given to
move, and the procession started oil its
way to the gallows, which was reached in
8 minutes. At 11:35 Davis stood on the
gallows. Sheriff Bellamy, Deputy Bishop,
Jailer Chadwick.and Revs. J. W. Solomon,
D. C. Crook and J. A. Howard were with
him. Rev. D. C. Crook prayed a very* earn
est prayer, after which, at twenty minutes
to 12, Davis began to make
HIS DYING STATEMENT.
He.said, “ Well, people, see what I have
come to. I know 1 killed a man like a ras
cal, but I will try to die like a man. I hope
my case will be an example to the people.
Oh, merciful (lod,;turn sinners from their
sins and save them.
“ You all know what I am to be hung for.
I have freely and honestly confessed my
crime to man and God, and have had
all about it published in the
papers. I killed the man with
out. cause and wilfully. 1 have got
nothing against any man in this world-
black or white. The sheriff and jailer have
treated me kindly since I was brought
here, and 1 thank them for it.
“I do not know, as some people say they
do, that I will go to heaven, but I have
faith in God and know he is willing to
save me. I hope to get to heaven. I hope
xny case will be a warning to young men.
i have given my mother much
trouble, but she does not know
I am to be hung to-day. I hope she will
stand it, and I hopo that God will make
her feel that it is all for the best.
“I say again I did the crime wilfully and
without cause. I was so hardened from
sin that I did not care for life or anything
else. I want to warn young men about
marrying as I have done. Do not make
love to a girl unless you mean iv, it will
bring trouble to your heart and
head. I hope that the Lois
may have mercy on all of you ; hope all
may do well and get to heaven. You think
it is a pleasure to boast of worldly things,
but it is much more pleasant to serve the
Lord. Go to church and try to serve God.
He will help the weak and feeble. Ask
God to pardon your sins. Do it now.
Don’t put it off until to-morrow. I wish
my life could save ten thousand sinners.
I 'am willing to die for the good
of the country and the people. Oh,
sinners, turn from your sins! Your heart
gets harder and harder. Believe in God.
He is able and willing to save you. None
of us are worthy of His gifts. Accept and
believe His word.
“I have got nothing else to say. I have
got nothing but justice from man. but
what I want is the people to give all jus
tice, the rich and poor alike. I was with
out money and without friends. Write
home and find out about me.”
Here his statement ceased. At nine min
utes to twelve
THE FATAL NOOSE
was placed about his neck and the black
cap adjusted. He then shook hands with
the sheriff, deputy and jailer, saying:
“Good-bye; I wish you well.” He repeated
this to the crowd. These were the last
words lie ever uttered.
At 7) minutes to 12 Deputy Bishoj:
committed. On the 2otli day of Novem
ber, 188-1, lie married Mrs. Fields, who
nursed him when he was a baby. He lived
with her only six weeks, during which
lime he fell desperately in love with Em
ma Reams, a sister of his victim, because of
which tlie murder was probably commit
ted.
Davis is about 5 feet 10 inches in height,
has dark hair and eyes and weighs about
170. Jle is a very ordinary looking man
and his mental faculties are weak.
THINKS HE WILL GET TO HEAVEN.
Yesterday morning your reporter accom
panied Rev. J. W. Solomon, Rev. D. C.
Crook and Rev. J. A. Howard to the jail.
The ministers read several appropriate
passages of scripture and talked at some
length to the doomed man. He told them
that he was thoroughly satisfied that God
had forgiven his sins, and that he would go
to heaven. He was ready to die at any
time. As he had shed the blood of man
he thought that it was perfectly right that
his blood should be shed. He thanked the
ministers profusely for the many kind
nesses they had shown him and expressed
a desire to meet them in heaven. He
talked sensibly and rationally upon the
subject.

Colliery Explosion, Etc.
London, June 25.—Parliament was pro
rogued to-day. Following is the queen’s
speech:
•My Lords and Gentlemen : I have de
termined to release you from your duties
before the full accomplishment of the
regular work of the session, in order to as
certain the sense of my people on the im
portant proposal to establish a legislative
body in Ireland, for the management of
the Irish as distinguished from imperial
affairs. With this object it is my intention
to immediately dissolve parlia
ment. I continue to happily main
tain the most friendly relation with
foreign powers. I have the satisfaction to
acquaint you with the fact that the war
like operations of Servla ngaiDst Bulgaria
have been brought to a close through the
wise councils of the powers, and the for
bearance of the sultan, and also after a
period of anxiety of the adoption of the
pacific councils of Greece. The disarming
of Greek forces, now in progress, has re
moved serious danger to the peace of east
Europe.
“The state of affairs in Egypt has im
proved. I have baen enabled to material
ly reduce my force in that country
and to bring it within the southern limits
of the empire proper. I have concluded
an arrangement with Spain which if adopt-
oa by the cortez will, I trust, increase our
comitercial intercourse with Spain and
also entourage the importation of colonial
wines.
I have felt a lively pleasure in promot
ing the exhibition or products, manufac
tures and art of my colonial and Indian
domains which la now being held
in the metropolis, j f ee l that
this enterprise and the cordial
interest the people exhibit therein
at once proves the sympathy uniting the
several portions of the empire ai.fi power
fully tend to confirm and promote that
sympathy.
“Gentlemen of the house of commons, i
thank you for the liberal supplies you have
provided to meet the exegencies of the
public service until the new parliament
shall have an opportunity to complete the
amounts necessary for the full service of
the year.
“My lords and gentlemen, I have, with
great satisfaction, given my assent to the
bill amending tlie laws affecting the
bill effecting reforms in the medical pro
fession and the hi!) amending the law re
garding the custody and guardianship of
children. I have given my consent to the

The excitement is intense and increasing
in Nova Scotia over the proposed secession
from Canada. The vote waa 30,U00 for se
cession to 24,000 against it, a majority suffi
ciently strong to prove that Nova Scotia
wants' independence. At the coming par
liamentary elections a solid secessionist
delegation will be sent to Ottawa, which
will demand that Nova Scotia be allowed
to go and which will appeal to the impe
rial parliament.
The Canadians, on the other hand, seem
equally desirous of getting rid of “the
blue hoses.” Nova Scotia has received
more money from the Canadian treasury
than it has ever paid in the way of taxes.
It has been made the eastern terminus of
the Canada Pacific railway and has secured
numerous other railways and protection
against the American fishermen. In fine,
the Canadians are as favorable to the seces
sion us the Nova Scotians are anxious o
get free.
After that is done it is impossible to say
what will follow. There are n number of
the people of the province anxious to en
ter the American union. It cannot be said
that they are yet in a majority, but public
sentiment, both in Canada and New Eng
land, opines that Nova Scotia will not long
be able to maintain its isolated position
and will be compelled to knock at the
doors of the union.
A delegation of the citizens’ reform asso
ciation of Buffalo have just had a row with
the mayor, upon whom they called to up
hold the Sunday excise laws. The com
mittee and the mayor wound up the meet
ing by calling each other names, and now

STORY OF THE CRIME.
The murder was committed on Mr. J. E.
Fitzgerald’s place, near Columbus, in this
county, on the 17th day of February. The
detail's of the crime are horribly brutal.
There were no eye-witnesses, but Da ws
immediately confessed the crime to the
negroes on tlie place, and afterwards made
a full statement of the murder al the pie- |
liniinary examination held in Girard. 'Phi
circumstances are thus briefly gii en:
The victim, Archie Reams, aliuj \rchie
McClellan, was a youth about 20 year , of
age, and worked under Davis. immedi
ately after noon on the day of the killing,
Davis sent Reams down to the river to
hunt up the cows, and shortly afterward.,
Davis himself left witii a gun on bis shoul
der. The balance of tin* story is taken
from Davis' own 1 i)>s, and is as follows:
“I came up on Arcftio from behind, and
without saying a word to him l shot linn
in the back of tlie neck. Lie fell to nil
knees and implored me to spare his lift*. )
